11.Do you get on well with your colleagues?
Yes, because it’s a small office we get to talk a lot and we regularly have lunch together.
It’s a good chance for us to social
ize and get to know each other better. The atmosphere
at work is quite relaxed and I enjoy talking to my colleagues. When I started the job, they
helped me a lot. They are very kind and I will miss them when I quit.
12. Would you like to change your job
？
Well, I want to keep on being an accountant but I would like to do it somewhere else.
I intend to immigrate to Australia in order to change my lifestyle radically. I want to
experience new challenges and see the world. I have been working in the same company for
too long. I would like to learn something new and give my family a chance to have a better life
abroad. I got married last year. Everyone tells me that Australia is a beautiful place to
raise a child. We’11 see.

1.What is your favorite food?
Well, that’s a tough question because I love so many different kinds of food, especially
anything spicy. I love the specialties from Sichuan Province. I am sure you are familiar with
Sichuan cuisine. They use red hot chilies with meat or vegetables. Everything is so tasty
and colorful
！
A couple of days ago, I went out for dinner with some friends and we had spicy
food: meat and tofu, as well as green beans and all kinds of vegetables in a spicy hot pot. It
was unbelievable
！
It’s going to make m
y mouth water just thinking about it!
2. What kinds of food are popular in your country?
It really depends on where you are. You know how huge our country is. So every area
offers different types of cooking
（＝
of cuisine), different specialties
．
The coastal regions
are usually big on sea food: in Fujian we love to eat fish and shrimps, and crab, anything
from the ocean. In the western regions of China, they tend to eat spicy food, with lots of
peppers. In the north, they eat dumplings, and a lot of fried foods
．
In general, the Chinese
eat a lot of rice and vegetables. And in the last 10 years, everyone has been eating more meat
too, thanks to the economic development our country has experienced.
